Should we…like…number them?

Second on the mandolin that was on someone’s list.

Caveat being don’t buy a shitty one or it will have the opposite effect.

I believe you have the best of intentions with this comment, but there are literal north korea fanboys up in here, and they’re rude af. Discourse is not a thing.
